We have a long day in Kindergarten, so we have a snack time in the afternoon to give students a little break. Some of my students bring a snack from home each day, but often kids don't have anything. My students love picking out of the snack box so they can join their friends. They don't have to worry about not having snacks at home to bring because they know I will always have something to offer them. My students enjoy socializing and having a snack with their friends, and I love that everyone is included! Thank you again for your donation.

I did not expect to have my goal completed in a single day! So far, your gifts have already been put to good use: in counseling sessions, to help de-escalate, to provide comfort for homesick kindergarteners, and to aid in my evaluations. I have a shelf in my office where most of the materials are kept and each time a new student turns the corner their eyes light up and you can see a wave of relief and excitement wash over them. I am very thankful that I was able to include a variety of materials on my list, as it allows students to have some control over their environment, a luxury not always afforded to them. \r\n\r\nOne specific moment that made this all worth it happened last week when I asked a student, who has unfortunately already been labeled as \"problematic\", if they wanted to take a break in my office. In the class, they were on high alert, never seemed comfortable, very hyperactive and impulsive. In my office, with a fidget toy in hand, completely still, relaxed and focused on the questions I was asking. The teacher and didn't believe me at first when I reported back. After coming up with a plan for breaks, ways to earn access to the \"better\" materials, and some reminders of how important sensory input is for young learners, the student's classroom behaviors have already lessened and yesterday was chosen as the \"Student of the Day\".\r\n\r\nThere are already other stories like this and there will certainly be many more because of your generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1751644674219,"projectUrl":"project/a-school-psychologists-mission-safe-mi/9441499/","projectTitle":"A School Psychologist’s Mission: Safe Minds, Strong Hearts","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. DiSanto-Rose","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-6_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10009290"},{"teacherId":8547442,"projectId":9452097,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation of snacks for my students.

Each student was happy to be able to have a rope of their own and to jump with their friends. For many of the students this was their first experience with them. These items helped not only my general education students but my special education students as well. Using the parachute item was a hit at our end of the year field trip at the beach where I was able to set up a time where they all could show us their strong collaboration skills to get it up and also have others run underneath. The team building skills definitely helped inside the class and I know it will help as they enter first grade. The signs were helpful in showing the kids it was ok to go through different feelings but here is something you can do to help you through.","fullyFundedDate":1749240189068,"projectUrl":"project/brain-gym/9374441/","projectTitle":"Brain Gym","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Jones","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10041952"},{"teacherId":5697238,"projectId":9315123,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for the generous donation!
